Litter Kwitter, interrupted

Posted by Laura on Wednesday June 27 2007 in Crazy Cat Lady | 0 comments

So, as predicted by ALMOST EVERYONE I KNOW, our first attempt at using the Litter Kwitter on Elvis and Bear failed.

BUT hear me out. Apart from changing their shit box, we also changed the type of litter AND their food that week. So we left it for a few weeks.

Yesterday we decided it was time to try again. And after a couple of successful “shots” the boys pissed anywhere but in the litter. Poor Dan cleaned up after the boys a gazillion times. We cleaned the LK (if you use Litter Kwitter forum-speak) with one of those piss-smell-eliminator sprays and found God and prayed that the boys would have better aim.

And homigod, GOD MUST BE REAL.

At this rate, we might even make it through Day 3…

LJ-centric doo-dah that I’m posting here so fill it out, mofos

To tell tonight’s story, you need to know some history of our new place.

We moved in after Dan’s cousin, Van, moved out, it was well-known amongst the in-laws that we planned to apply to take over the lease when Van and Harry bought a house. Prior to that, Ruth, Dan’s aunt (and Van’s mother) cleaned this place. Van moved in here without knowing her mother cleaned it for the previous tennant.

And tonight after dinner up the street with TAFE friends (did I mention how much I love living in this neighbourhood?), we stood on the corner chatting before splitting up to go home. Theo, a former classmate then walks past and we have a chat. Somehow we discuss how I’ve moved in “into one of those places up above these shops”, only to discover that his friend lives above the shop next to us, so is technically our neighbour.

Oh, and before we started talking to Theo, we were talking about some Thai restaurant on King Street, and last time I ate there I saw Theo out the front.

Small world.
